The CSR Guidelines at Schoepe Display
We introduced holistic Corporate Social Responsibility Management in 2019 and established the following guidelines for this purpose:
- Our production is environmentally neutral in line with the idea of a “One World Consumption” approach to consuming resources.
- We produce and distribute sustainable displays and also exert influence throughout the value chain.
- Our employees are our most important resource. Employer attractiveness and image are, therefore, key to our success.
- We bear a regional responsibility for southern Brandenburg and are aware of our contribution to the common good.
- Through transparency, communication and the active management of CSR as a key issue, we are able to firmly anchor sustainability in the DNA of Schoepe Display GmbH.
